Soccer player Marc Guéhi and his team received an official warning from league officials after he wrote a religious message on his arm band.Guéhi is the captain for Crystal Palace, a team in England's top division, the Premier League. Each team has one player on the field wear a designated captain's armband, with teams all assigned a rainbow armband to show "support for LGBTQ+ inclusion in sport" last weekend.However, Guéhi, a devout Christian, decided to write "I love Jesus" on his armband. This prompted a warning from England's Football Association about wearing religious messages on a jersey.'He's no child, he's an adult, he has his opinion and we respect it.'According to ESPN, the FA's uniform rules state that "the appearance on, or incorporation in, any item of clothing ... any political or religious message" is forbidden and "disciplinary action may be taken" for any breach of the rules.The rules also state that "for any offence the player and/or the team will be sanctioned by the competition organizer, national football association or by FIFA."While Guéhi will avoid a fine, his Crystal Palace manager was quick to reaffirm that his team stands for "integration" not "discrimination.""Everyone now is about integration, no discrimination and Marc as well," Oliver Glasner said. "We spoke about it. He's no child, he's an adult, he has his opinion, and we respect it."Specific rules surrounding the armbands also exist, and the guidelines state players must "wear an armband, which is simple and conforms to the requirements ... relating to slogans, statements, images and advertising."The rainbow armband campaign comes from Stonewall, a gay English charity that says it stands for "lesbian, gay, bi, trans, queer, questioning and ace (LGBTQ+) people everywhere."While it is indeed odd that the sexuality-driven campaign is not considered political or religious, Guéhi was not the only player to take a stand during the set of weekend games.Ipswich Town captain Sam Morsy, a practicing Muslim, refused to wear the rainbow armband and instead wore a typical plain black version. Ipswich Town's Sam Morsey refused to wear a rainbow armband, while Crystal Palace's Marc Guéhi wrote 'I love Jesus' on his.Photo by Shaun Botterill/Getty ImagesShockingly for Morsy's decision, the FA claimed it was a club matter and did not issue a warning.Ipswich Town still issued a groveling statement."Ipswich Town Football Club is committed to being a fully inclusive club that welcomes everyone." "At the same time, we respect the decision of our captain Sam Morsy, who has chosen not to wear the rainbow captain's armband due to his religious beliefs," the team continued."We will continue to grow an environment where all are valued and respected, both on and off the pitch."Like Blaze News?

Former director of the White House National Trade Council Peter Navarro was recruited by President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday to serve as senior counselor for trade and manufacturing in the incoming administration. Navarro has been a loyal ally to Trump and has vowed to implement his tariff-forward trade policy. Navarro has also notably served a four-month jail sentence for refusing to comply with a congressional subpoena pertaining to January 6, which he said demanded that he "betray" Trump to "save [his] own skin." 'He did a superb job for the American people in my First Term. Peter will do even better as Senior Counselor to protect American Workers, and truly Make American Manufacturing Great Again.' Peter Navarro, an adviser to former U.S. President Donald Trump, speaks to reporters after being found guilty of contempt of Congress at the E. Barrett Prettyman Courthouse on September 07, 2023, in Washington, D.C. Photo by Kevin Dietsch/Getty Images"During my First Term, few were more effective or tenacious than Peter in enforcing my two sacred rules, Buy American, Hire American," Trump announced in a Truth Social post on Wednesday. "He helped me renegotiate unfair Trade Deals like NAFTA and the Korea-U.S. Free Trade Agreement (KORUS), and moved every one of my Tariff and Trade actions FAST." "The Senior Counselor position leverages Peter's broad range of White House experience, while harnessing his expensive Policy analytic and Media skills," Trump continued. "His mission will be to help successfully advance and communicate the Trump Manufacturing, Tariff, and Trade Agendas." Trump went on to praise Navarro's background as well as his experience in the first administration. "Peter is not just a superb, Harvard-trained Economist, he is a noted author of more than a dozen bestselling books on strategic business management and unfair Trade," Trump said in the announcement. "He did a superb job for the American people in my First Term. Peter will do even better as Senior Counselor to protect American Workers, and truly Make American Manufacturing Great Again."

What are the Indiana Jones and the Great Circle system requirements?  To get the maximum enjoyment possible from chasing down ancient treasure, you're going to need nothing less than a modern, high-end gaming PC. Anything older is going to put you in trouble, because this game is simply greedy for your system resources across the board. In fact, you'll need a GPU with hardware ray tracing to even meet the minimum specs. The requirements for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle are hard-hitting, with two separate lists for standard and ray-tracing gameplay. If you want to run this game on the highest Ultra settings, with full ray tracing enabled, you're going to need an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090, the best graphics card you can buy. However, if you're happy to play Indy at 1,080p on low presets, you'll be okay with a less powerful rig, but you're still going to need a GPU that supports ray tracing.
